Wondrous Spaghetti Squash

I'm freezing today! (Its really only 60 but it seems so cold...gray and rainy....)Kind of hard to believe only 3 days ago it was 90 degrees! I'm afraid summer is over and all those glorious vegetables will soon be gone.....now its time for wonderful squash ...butternut, acorn, pumpkin and one of my all time favorites..spaghetti squash. Have you ever tried spaghetti squash? Its amazing....its great for all you non-carb believers out there....Spaghetti squash is so easy to prepare...you can top it with marinara sauce, pesto, mix it with greens....the possibilities are endless! 
Its really easy to prepare.....
1. cut open and discard the seeds the best you can
2. place in a baking dish, flesh side down
3. add about 1/4 inch of water
4. bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for about 50-60 minutes until soft
5. carefully turn over and start "shredding" with a fork....its amazing...it looks just like angel hair pasta!
6. place in bowl, toss with whatever strikes your fancy!
spaghetti squash with vegan meatballs and sauce....can you say....yummy!
7. ENJOY!
